Serving Farmington homes from the Hartford area
Farmington is a municipality in Connecticut's Capitol Planning Region. The 2025 Census figure puts its population at 28,632. It sits roughly 9 miles from Hartford, so Farmington visits fit into the same routes we run for service in West Hartford, New Britain, Newington and Bloomfield.

Chimney cleaning in Farmington
Wood fires leave creosote on the inside of the flue. Creosote is flammable, and thick buildup can also restrict draft. A chimney sweep for Farmington homes removes that buildup along with soot and debris. If you want details first, here's what a full chimney cleaning includes. Cleaning visits in Farmington can cover:
- Chimney flue cleaning and creosote removal
- Blockage removal, including leaves, fallen masonry and other debris
- Animal and nest removal, followed by an animal screen or cap so it doesn't happen again
- Odor removal for chimneys that smell, especially in humid weather
- Fireplace, fireplace insert and wood stove cleaning
How often you need a cleaning depends on how much you burn and what you burn. Many homeowners who use a fireplace or stove regularly book yearly chimney cleaning so it happens before the heating season.
Chimney inspection in Farmington
An inspection tells you whether the system is safe to use and what condition it's in. Depending on your situation, we offer a standard chimney and fireplace inspection, a chimney camera inspection that shows the inside of the flue, a real estate chimney inspection for buyers and sellers, and a storm damage chimney inspection after severe weather.
Good times to schedule a chimney inspection
- Before the first fire of the season
- When you're buying or selling a home
- After a storm, fallen limb or lightning strike near the chimney
- After a suspected chimney fire, or loud popping or rumbling in the flue
- When water stains appear on ceilings or walls near the chimney
- Before adding an insert, switching fuels or converting a fireplace
Chimney rebuilds and crown repairs
The crown is the concrete or mortar cap on top of a masonry chimney, and it takes the most weather. Small cracks can often be repaired. When the brickwork has deteriorated too far, rebuilding part or all of the chimney may be the better fix. Our brick chimney repair options include crown repair, tuckpointing, general masonry repair and full rebuilds. We also handle flashing repair, leak repair, waterproofing, liner repair and installation, damper repair, cap and spark arrestor installation, and chase cover work on prefab chimneys.
Why chimney repairs shouldn't wait
Chimney damage tends to grow. Water that gets into brick and mortar can freeze and expand in cold weather, which loosens joints and widens cracks. Failed flashing lets water reach attic framing and ceilings. A cracked or damaged liner can let heat and combustion gases reach parts of the house they shouldn't. In general, fixing a small crack, worn flashing or a missing cap costs less trouble than fixing what follows from it.
Stop using the fireplace if you notice these
Smoke pouring into the room, a strong burning smell from the walls, or a roaring sound from the flue are reasons to put the fire out safely and call. If you hear roaring or see flames or sparks from the top of the chimney, get everyone out and call 911. We accept emergency calls at any hour, Sunday through Friday.
Fireplace, gas and dryer vent work
Inside the house, fireplace repair in Farmington covers firebox and smoke chamber repair, draft problems, refractory panel replacement, glass and door repair, and gas and electric fireplace service. If you're planning an upgrade, we also handle new fireplace or insert installation, gas logs, gas lines and fireplace conversions.
Lint buildup in a dryer vent slows drying and raises fire risk. We clean dryer vents, remove lint and blockages, test airflow, and clean roof vents. We also repair, replace or reroute vent runs and replace vent covers. Rental owners and property managers can schedule dryer vent cleaning for multiple units.
